This is for me. If you don’t like it, you can suck it and unfollow me.

1. You are my best friend, and one of the very few people I would trust with anything,even though I thought there was a time I’d never feel that way again. I’ve known you for such a long time, and you’ve honestly changed my life. I know that you’re always there for me and that you’ll never leave me alone. We’ve definitely had our ups and downs, but I wouldn’t be who I am today without you, and I really believe that. I’m pretty sure you and I know more about each other than anyone else does, and that’s what makes our friendship so strong. It’s funny how different we are, but still somehow manage to retain a friendship like this. Sometimes I still can’t understand how we fixed something so broken, but we did. And I’m really glad.

2. Sometimes it’s hard to be friends with you because you’re so moody, but I still value our frienship…even though it sometimes feels like I do more than you do. There are times that it seems like you don’t really care if we’re friends or not, but when it comes down to it, you’re still there for me. And the better times we have together always outweigh the bad. When you’re happy, you can always make me laugh. Sometimes we clash because of our similar personalities, and sometimes I feel like I’m missing something important about your life or your personality, but it’s okay. I don’t always have to understand. Sometimes just reminding myself that we care about each other is enough.

3. There’s always been something in the way of our relationship. We’ve never been able to build a bond that each of us have with other people. Maybe it’s because of our conflicting viewpoints on certain subjects, maybe it’s cause of the different directions we plan on taking our lives, or maybe it’s because neither of us gives enough of a shit to make the effort to strengthen our relationship. Regardless, when we have our moments, they’re really special to me. I find myself being proud that I was able to have such a connection with you even if it was only for a short moment. Maybe you don’t feel the same way about those times as I do, but that’s okay. Because I’m happy enough just being reassured that you’re always gonna care about me no matter how our relationship changes. You’ve opened my eyes to so many new things and ideas, and I don’t tell you thank you enough. So thanks for being that person that secretly cares, and for being the one who’s so intelligent and open-minded enough to make me think. You’re often the friend that I take for granted.

4. You…I don’t know where to begin. You’re truly one of a kind. I feel like I have known you so much longer than I actually have. There are numerous times that we’ve been at each other’s throats, but we’ve managed to make it through them. You’ve changed a lot since I met you, and I can’t say that I think every change has been for the better. But I do know that you and I still manage to have a good time when we’re together. There have been sooo times that you and I have been crying from making each other laugh so hard, and I miss the time when they were more frequent. But even now, even though they’re less common, they’re still just as important to me. We can’t always see eye-to-eye, and there’s times where we can’t really relate to one another, but the times that we do are always important and worth remembering. We’ve had some really interesting times together, and I’ve really loved them. You’ve definitely changed me as a person and made me stronger. Our friendship has a short, but definitely fascinating history.

5. If you knew this was for you, you might be surprised that I’m writing you one, because you aren’t in my regular circle of friends. But you are one of the kindest, understanding, accepting people I’ve ever met, and I’m so thankful that you’re a part of my life. We’ve only had one disagreement in the entire time we’ve been friends, but it doesn’t even matter to me anymore. You’re a beautiful person inside and out, and we always have such an amazing time when we’re together. You’re always honest with me, even when it’s not what I want to hear, and I really need that once in a while. You’re so funny and talented, and you mean a lot to me, even though we’re not always together or hanging out. The times that we do are always really special. I will truly miss you when you’re gone, but I have a lot of faith in our relationship, and I’m sure that you’ll still remain a part of my life.

6. This is for two people. You two are two of the greatest people I’ve ever had the opportunity to have known. You have the biggest hearts, and I’m thankful that something as simple as after school community service has made us closer than we ever could have expected. You two understand me so well in a way that no one else does. You’ve changed my life, as well as the lives of two other fantastic people that we’ve had the chance to work with. I know that both of you will go on to do great things. Because of the time we’ve spent together, all of us have changed and learned to be less judgmental and more understanding. As I said, you both have huge hearts, and are extremely intelligent. Thank you for everything you’ve done for me and taught me. You two are my sisters, and we’ve really created a bond that can’t be broken.

7. This is the hardest to write. Because I’ve had more ups and downs with you than anyone else. You mean more to me than you will ever know, and I really mean that. I push people away because they’re so important to me and I’m so used to being let down that I want to break the relationship before they can hurt me. And you are the perfect example of how I do it. Usually it works, but you have proven me wrong. And up until very recently, you never gave up on me. You tried and tried and tried and overlooked my huge flaws because you cared so much about me. But even now, you are my best friend and mean so so much to me. I’m unbelievably thankful that you’re in my life. Obviously I don’t like the way things are between us now, but I have so much hope in this that I don’t think it’s done changing yet. You deserve to be treated with the kindness and acceptance and patience that you always gave me. You’re such a good person, and I wish you were told that more often. You know me so well that it scares me sometimes. And no one can make me smile like you. You’ve changed my life. Really. You have literally changed my life in so many ways and showed me so many amazing things about people. You’ve shown me that I don’t have to have so much doubt in people, because sometimes they can surprise you. I’ve made more mistakes in our relationship than I can count, and I wish I hadn’t. But all I can ask of you now is to not give up on me just yet.

Most of the people that I wrote these for will never read this. But I need to start being more appreciative of what I have. And I’m starting this way. Not everyone who has made a difference in my life is on here. But this is where I’m beginning. Chances are you’ll be thanked sometime soon anyway. Thank you to all of these people, as well as anyone else that is a part of my life.
